[QUOTE="Scott Cee, post: 129648, member: 23817"] I pulled the engine out of my 742B for overhaul, and the squirrel fan shroud is umm, not so great. [ATTACH type="full"]4776[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]4777[/ATTACH] I'm thinking I'll patch it with some aluminum sheet and screws/nuts, if that seems reasonable? Also, I'm assuming there was supposed to be a cover over the big rectangular opening above there? It was just open. The machine obviously was overheated at some point. I'm struggling with the idea of overheating it enough to melt that shroud, but I guess so. There was no thermostat in it, and the radiator has some repairs on it. Also the upper timing belt cover was just missing, and the lower one is all deformed, I'm guessing the heat also got it. Other than losing the ignition timing marks, which I think I can work around with a dialback timing light (I have a fancy one for setting up propane), is there any reason I can't just ditch them? They're NLA from Bobcat and I don't think I'll have much luck finding them used. [ATTACH type="full"]4778[/ATTACH] You can see where the belt was rubbing it even. Plus the head of a broken bolt, but that's another story. [/QUOTE]
